Mclaughlin and Robert Stein.
Receipts st the treasury were $1,000,
and disbursements $4,000 The Comptrol-
ler's deposits were about sI5, 900; school
fund about 5000, and subsidy $1,000.
The fact mas been noted in official cir
cles that United States District Judge
Mccormick has refused In many instance
to try cases from Greer county, but such
cases have been sent back to that county,
thus virtually acknowledging the iuris-
dtction of that county.
A sensation was caused this morning
by the statement that some of the sup
ports OF the great dome Of the capitol
had given way and that there was SO much
danger connected with it that the work
men had stopped. 1t turns out to be the
merest bosh. Secretary Dickinson of the
capitol board was seen late by GAZETTE
man. Mr.. Dickinson admitted that
crack mad bean discovered in the arch
supporting the dome on the south look
ing towards Congress avenue From other
sources it is learned that Captain Walsh,
LSnd Commissioner of the old Capitol
Board, had written letter to Governor
Ross calling attention to certain depart
ures from the original plan in construct
ing the dome by the new board, and dan
gers arising therefrom. Investigation
followed and en- informal meeting Of the
Capitol Board WAS held this evening II
seems the Capitol Commissioner became
dubious ot the effect Of the tremendous
weight OF the dome. Therefore at the
suggestion of the members of the board
Governor Ross telegraphed Architect
Le8run ofNew York this evening to come
snd search for and point out any defects
in the construction CT the dome and ask
ing the architects terms. NJ reply had
been received at last accounts. In prom
inent quarters OF the state house the
crack in the arch is denied.

found, but the fact that none OF the circus
men remains in the city is thought good
evidence that the beasts were secured, and
there does not seem to be any alarm felt
in police circles. The capture OF one of
the lions was an exciting affsir,
and developed much true courage on the
part OF his cspturer. Manager Gilbert
saw the brute under freight Car and at
once grappled with him. For few
moments there was desperate struggle
and nothing was to be seen but revolving
man and beast ard cloud Of
dust, but the man fusl!y tTiumphed sDd
held the beast down to the platform until
assistance came, and the cowed creature
was dragged of to its cage.

track will be raised to level with the
other lines.

The laying of anotner line into the
Union depot was commenced yesterday,
which may mean much or little. The
Missouri Pacific had gang Of men at
work all day yesterday building another
trestle bridge over the rsvine Immediately
north of the Union depot, and between
the bridges of the Santa Fe and Missouri
Pacific. Mr.. P. J Connolly, roadmaster
Of the Missouri Pacific, was found watch
ing the progress of the work and asked
what it all meant. He said the Missouri
Pacific would in day or two have an
other line running down to the depot
from the north. This, he said, would
be for the accommodation Of the Fort
Worth and Denver. The Missouri Pacific
will build the track back as far as lis
freight yards, and it is probable the Den
yer will carry it on north to some dis
lance, exactly how far Mr.. Connolly did
not know. Some railroad officials in
Fort Worth seem to discredit this ex-
PLANTATION of the Missouri Pacifc's motive
in building another line, saying it is being
done to keep the Houston and Texas
Central from gaining entrance to the de-
pot, but the Central people say their
company has already secured right of
way as far as they wish to come. Others
say the Denver and the Central will make
connection in this way.

Chicago Club Burned Dat.

CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 1t was nearly 4
o'clock this morning when a fire was dis
covered in the Chicago Club on Monroe
street, opposite the ladies' entrance TO
the Palmer house. By the time the first
relay o. engines had ratified up to the
fire the flames had spread throughout the
fifth floor, and were bursting from the
windows on all sides, while signs of fire
could be seen on the fourth floor. HIS
dozen clnb members snd as
many women who are employed
about the club were asleep in
the building at the time. They had no
warning OF the flames until the
fremen rushed into their apart
ments and pulled them out bodily. Ii is
thought that every one was taken cut
safely. TEE fire started on the fifth floor
in the kitchen from defective fqe. A
torrent of water was poured into the
building I'LL the furniture and everything
else about the building WAS completely
ruined. The Chicago Club was erected fl
teen years ago st 6 cost of $4,000 The
fixtures and furniture cost $25 600, and
are q total loss, but fully Insured. The
damage to the building will be heavy.
Besides this there were many valuable
in the rooms, which, no doubt,
are utterly ruined.
It trspspiras that no lives were Lost,
the employees of the club having escaped
to the roof IF the mex building. The
greater part Of the furniture was saved
by being covered with tarpaulins. About
S25 coo will cover the loss. The insur-
2nce WAS $4,000
